@leguinian_utopia I'm the type of person to confront them, with a camera running, telling them I'm recording for public safety concerns & directly ask them - What are you doing here?
Last year, cops were surrounding one of our neighbours homes & 2 cars had their lights flashing. I marched over & yelled at them. Why are your flashers on? Is there a murder or other violent crime that we need to be aware of? Why are there so many cops here?!?
Cops: It's a wellness check.
Me: The fuck it is! Anyone unwell - you're making them more traumatized by what you're all doing, right now. Turn your flashers off & send away anyone not essential here - which is (arm waving across the cops gang) over half of you criminals with badges! I will start screaming if you don't & then more people will come out & it will be your consequences!

All but one cop car left less than 5 minutes after I raged.
